Event Description

A double header, featuring the legendary Kincumber Drain on one day, and head-to-head slalom on the other.

Kincumber Race Format

This will be run as a jam format. Each rider will get a minimum of four timed runs (more if we have time), and their fastest time is the only one that counts. If you hit a cone your time will not be recorded but you'll have used up one of your four runs, so Don't Hit Cones.

Sidonia Race Format

This will be a head-to-head race. Two identical courses will be set side-by-side, and riders will have a timed qualifying run on each course, with their fastest run used to seed them into a 32-person draw.

In head-to-head racing each rider's time starts on the start of the 4th beep from the timing system. If you jump the gun the amount of time you jump by is doubled and added to your time. If you hit a cone a 0.1 second penalty is added to your time.

We will use a new format this year; a mixture of single elimination and double-elimination. The first four rounds will be double-elimination. These four rounds will cull the rider list down from 32 to 16 riders, while ensuring that everybody races at least two different opponents. These races are single-run, with the fastest qualifier in each race choosing which lane (red or white) to run.

We then switch to single-elimination for the last 16. These races will be dual-run, ie, each rider runs on both the red and white lanes, and their times are added.

ASRA Admin Comment by Bugs on March 2, 2010 at 12:48: Added some info about race formats for those interested; see the event description above.

The reason for the change (in the head-to-head) is to make the final rounds a bit more comprehensible. With double-elimination there are no quarter-finals or semi-finals as such, so it's a bit hard to follow at the end. But we're keeping the double-elimination for the first four rounds cos everybody deserves at least a couple of races.

I'll be interested to see how it goes...

It will be a 9 o'clock practice, 10 o'clock start each day.

Comment by Shadow on March 1, 2010 at 23:03: For all those who have not been to Round 1 of the CHC. The majority of people stay at the Beach Comber Hotel around 20mins drive from Kincumber close to Sidonia Gardens race 2 for easy hang over access.
